Damon's Lament: Parts 1 and 2 by HPFangirl71
He watched the church building tumble to its demise with Katherine trapped within it. She'd created him, given him an eternal life and eternal love for her. It mattered not how many lifetimes he lived as a newborn vampire. He was certain he'd never love another as he'd loved her. Within the blink of an eye, he'd lost it all. He'd lost his only chance at happiness. He knew who to blame for his heartache, his brother Stefan Salvatore. Silently he vowed to cause little brother as much heartache as he now felt, even if it took him an Eternity…
He was like a sleepwalker. His life no longer holding any interest since Katherine and the others had disappeared in the fire. He knew his brother was suffering too but that didn't matter to him. Katherine Pierce had been his and he blamed his brother Stefan for trying to claim her as his own. He'd let her change him too and for that Damon would never forgive him. This was his heartbreak and his alone. He refused to share his sorrow with the brother he no longer wished existed. The brother he had to now share an unhappy eternity with.
